About Me

Hi, I'm Shyam Kapadia and am running to support Aseema. I first ran for them around 13 years ago and have recently been trying to get back to running - with this Half Marathon being a giant leap of faith!

I believe every child deserves a fair chance, and Aseema is helping thousands of first-generation learners build a brighter future. By dedicating my run to Aseema, I hope to raise awareness and encourage more people to support their important work.

Running for Aseema is my small way of giving back and contributing to a cause I truly believe in.

Appeal

In a world where opportunities are not equal, education becomes the strongest bridge to a better future. Aseema Charitable Trust has been working for over two decades to ensure that children from marginalised communities receive high-quality, value-based education — the kind that helps them dream, grow, and transform their lives.

In partnership with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), Aseema manages three municipal schools in Mumbai, runs 12 Balwadis (pre-primary centres), and operates a vibrant Education Centre for Tribal Children in Igatpuri, Nashik.

Through these initiatives, Aseema currently supports more than 3,600 children from vulnerable urban slums and tribal communities.

Your donation will help support teacher salaries, nutritious meals, books, classroom resources, digital learning, health services, and counselling.
